Doctor key to UW abortion plan leaving for Harvard

A University of Wisconsin doctor who was central to plans to provide late-term abortions in Madison is leaving for a job at Harvard University, officials said Monday, adding that they still plan to offer the procedure. Caryn Dutton, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, will join the faculty at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Womenâ??s Hospital in Boston. Dutton performed abortions at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and was heavily involved in plans to offer second-trimester abortions at the Madison Surgery Center.
